For this week, my AOTW is a Funline Muscle Machine car made in 2002 to commemorate the victims of 9/11 and since the 11th is within this week, I wanted to show my respect by having a toy car related to it as my AOTW. Here's a photo of the one I got at a train show about a year ago.
I got it for $5 with the Dupont car you'll most likely see in the background.

My AOTW is a few Life-Like light ups. Note the "staggered" expressway lights along this 2 lane stretch... Also lighted billboards by LL. Staggering idea was mentioned by Jerry... W.Va

Sean,
That driver is well detailed and an interesting model.

Then what's this? I got this photo from Tony Cook's website.
Of course, there's the possibility that this is some sort of prototype.

Actually, looking at it a little closer, it is a gray tractor, it must have something to do with the camera quality or something. Ah, good ol' 1970's.
